Chapter 739: Island Nation’s Sorrow 3
After nightfall, groups of workers wearing the uniforms of Xiyh Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. walked out of the factory one after another.
As many workers walked out of the tall factory gate, they whispered with three or five "like-minded" co-workers next to them about which izakaya to go to for a few drinks that night. Bursts of ambiguous laughter were heard from the crowd from time to time.
More than an hour later, when the last worker walked out of the factory gate, the dazed security guard pushed the heavy iron gate hard. With a series of harsh friction sounds, the iron gate was closed tightly. Then the security guards immediately ran back to the duty room next to them. It was too cold outside. The biting cold wind kept falling on the exposed skin like a knife. The security guards jumped into the duty room with white air in their mouths, and quickly came to the coal stove, stretched out their hands close to the hot fire to dispel the coldness in their bodies.
The clock on the wall showed that it was already 7:30 in the evening. The four security guards on night shift sat around the fire, drinking hot water to keep warm and whispering about various new things they had heard recently. Usually at this time, most of the managers in the factory had gone off work, and only a few technicians were still working overtime in the office. The workers on night shift in the workshop were also working step by step. Except for the occasional honking of trucks transporting goods and the low roar of machines in the workshop, the entire factory was completely free of the noise of the day. Only along the main roads inside the factory gates, rows of street lamps emitted dim lights in the snow.
In the tall and spacious workshop, workers dressed in the uniforms of Nishiyh Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. are standing in front of the huge lathes, working diligently on their work.
Time passed slowly and inadvertently, and when time froze at midnight, an inexplicable mysterious force enveloped the entire factory. The workers who were originally working hard in front of the lathes seemed to be under a spell. Almost at the same time, they felt a black screen in front of their eyes and lost consciousness. There were also several workers who were leaning over the lathes and were so unlucky that they fell headfirst on the running lathes. In an instant, they fell into the machinery and equipment in a bloody mess. Soon, streams of dark red blood with a strong smell of blood flowed along the machinery and equipment. Unfortunately, all the workers on the scene had lost consciousness, and no one went to turn off the power switch. These unlucky guys who fell into the machinery and equipment stopped twitching after a while.
At this time in the factory of Nishiyh Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., the security personnel in the duty room at the gate, the technicians who stayed in the office building to work overtime overnight, and all the workers in and outside the workshop, all fell into a coma. A truck that was transporting goods, with the driver falling into a coma, lost control and rushed directly to the lamppost beside the road. After knocking down three lampposts in succession, the truck stopped.
Zhou Di's figure suddenly appeared in the sky above the factory area of Xiyh Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. With a wave of his hand, thousands of middle and high-level puppets quickly pounced on the workshop below which was still brightly lit.
The middle and high-level puppets, who had obviously known the target of tonight's operation in advance, immediately became busy in an orderly manner after entering the workshop. After cutting off the power supply, they began to work on the machines.
These middle and high-level puppets did not dismantle the machinery and equipment. Instead, they directly waved the various magic weapons in their hands and easily cut off the screws as thick as a baby's arm that were originally used to fix the machinery and equipment to the concrete floor. Then, a high-level puppet holding a storage bag directly put the entire set of machinery and equipment that could be moved into it.
As these middle and high-level puppets divided the work and cooperated, after just a few minutes, the hundreds of sets of machinery and equipment that were originally neatly arranged in the huge workshop had completely disappeared, leaving only half of a thick screw on the concrete floor. Even all the wires, cables, and finished and semi-finished products piled next to the machinery and equipment were all cleaned up.
All the middle and high-level puppets moved to the next adjacent workshop without any hesitation. You should know that there are thirty or forty huge workshops of similar size in the Xiyh Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. factory alone.
While the puppets were cleaning the machines and equipment in each workshop, Zhou Di, who was in charge of the team tonight, was not idle either. He began a thorough cleaning of all the raw material warehouses and finished product warehouses of Xiyh Heavy Industries Co., Ltd. When his figure flashed through the rows of tall warehouses, all the raw materials and finished products originally piled up in them disappeared without a trace. In the empty warehouse, there were only the remaining surrounding walls and the pieces of wooden boards left on the cement floor that were originally used as moisture-proof.
After cleaning all the warehouses, Zhou Di also put all the vehicles and materials in the factory into storage bags, fully implementing his master's order to leave nothing behind. He then began to clean the office building carefully, leaving only dust and debris on the ground wherever he went, no matter whether it was office facilities or technical data.
When Zhou Di cleaned up the cafeteria of Xiyh Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., the mid- and high-level puppets responsible for dismantling the machinery and equipment had also completed their tasks. So Zhou Di waved his hand, took all the puppets back to the paradise, and then he rushed directly to the next target.
Tonight, Zhou Di is responsible for starting the cleanup operation from the west of Honshu Island, while Zhou Xuan will lead the team from the east of Honshu Island. The target is not only the major heavy industrial enterprises, but also the nearby material storage depots, especially the grain warehouses, which are the top priority; the other seven protectors led the team to other areas of the Yh Island. According to Lin Yu's order, all large and medium-sized heavy industrial enterprises and all grain storage warehouses on Yh Island must be cleared after tonight.
Originally, Lin Yu was planning to personally participate in the cleanup operation tonight, but was unanimously rejected by Zhou Tian and other bodyguards, who also deliberately kept Zhou Tian by his side to be responsible for the master's safety protection.
In this regard, Lin Yu could only accept the arrangement of the protectors and gave up the idea of doing it himself. Originally, the protectors wanted to ask the master to stay in his residence in the capital and wait for good news, but Lin Yu insisted on going to the Yh island country in person. For this reason, Zhou Xuan also found this acquired spiritual treasure-level flying magic weapon "Xiaoyaoju" from his collection for the master to ride.
